Aligned to learner need and choice
Once you understand where each adult learner is in terms of needs and strengths, you can start personalizing an approach to help them master the content at hand. To do this you need to make sure that the professional learning is not only aligned to their needs but also allows the learner to take ownership of their learning and make choices around content, path, place, etc.
By modeling best practices and giving each educator access to the content in a way that resonates and engages them, you are:
- Helping teachers experience personalized and competency-based learning as learners
- Aligning to competencies, with a focus on individual need
- Offering differentiated supports through different modalities
- Continually assessing learning which will inspire your adult learners to do the same with their students
